Sax intro and finale:
For the first part of that sax part, play
-6 and jump VERY quickly to -8, then hold the -7.
Then the second half of that first part is
6 -4 5.
Play that again, then kinda trail off with
4 -3 3 -1 2.
So all together, it looks sumthin' like this:
-6_-8_-7_________6_____-4___5________________
-6_-8_-7_________6_____-4___5________________
4___-3___3___-1___2___________.

East of O- ma-ha.
5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
You can lis-ten to the en-gine
-5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 -6
moan-ing out its one lone song
5 6 -6 -6 -6 6 -6 6
You can think a-bout the wo-man

Or the girl you knew
6 -6 6 -6 6 5
The night be- fore
Verse:
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do.
When your riding sixteen hours and theres nothing much to do
And you dont feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.
Chorus:
5 6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -7 6 5
Here I am, on the road a-gain
-7 -7 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7
There I am, up on the stage.
5 6 -6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6 6 5
Here I go, play-ing star a- gain.
-7 -7 -6 6 5 5 -4 5
There I go, turn the page.
Verse
Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as your shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode.
Most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can.
Oh the same old cliche, as that woman on her a man
You always see my number, you dont dare make a stand.
Chorus
Verse
Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away,
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away,
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said.
Chorus
Last Chorus
8 8 8 -8 8 8 -10 -10
Here I am, on the road a- gain
-10 9 9 8 8 8 9'
There I am, up on the stage
8 8 9 9 9' 9 8 8
Here I go, play-ing star a-gain.
8 8 -8 9' 9 9' 9
There I go, there I go.Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
